firmware: double-buffer the panel + zero-copy decode → ~22 fps ceiling
Per-frame paint cost drops from ~24 ms to ~45 µs (≈500× faster) by enabling num_fbs=2 on the DPI panel and decoding straight into the back framebuffer. Measured on the bench: before: lock=7us ttfb=370us body=40ms dec=6ms paint=24ms post=35us = ~70ms / ~14fps after : lock=7us ttfb=330us body=38ms dec=6ms paint=42us post=25us = ~45ms / ~22fps How the win actually lands: - num_fbs=2 in the esp_lcd_dpi_panel_config_t makes the IDF driver allocate two framebuffers and stream from one while we fill the other. - display_back_buffer() returns the inactive fb pointer + its size. - jpeg_decoder_decode() now accepts a caller-provided destination buffer instead of owning its own scratch. http_api passes the panel back-fb so the hardware JPEG decoder writes BGR888 pixels straight into where the DSI will eventually scan from. Zero memcpy in the hot path. - display_flip_back_buffer() calls esp_lcd_panel_draw_bitmap with the fb pointer. Because the buffer is inside the panel's own fb range, the IDF driver skips its memcpy and just does a cache writeback + swaps cur_fb_index. The actual flip happens on the next vsync, asynchronously — the call returns in microseconds. The remaining ceiling is network body time (~38 ms for ~210 KB JPEGs) and the hardware decoder (~6 ms). Per-viewport JPEG quality (smaller files = shorter body) is the next lever; everything firmware-side is already at or near floor. Also drop the old static jpeg output scratch + JPEG_DECODER_MAX_OUTPUT_BYTES constant — nothing references them anymore.
